    Prime Video is a first-stop entertainment destination offering customers a vast collection of premium programming in one app available across thousands of devices. Prime members can customize their viewing experience and find their favorite movies, series, documentaries, and live sports – including Amazon MGM Studios-produced series and movies; licensed fan favorites; and programming from Prime Video subscriptions such as Apple TV+, HBO Max, Peacock, Crunchyroll and MGM+. All customers, regardless of whether they have a Prime membership or not, can rent or buy titles via the Prime Video Store, and can enjoy even more content for free with ads. Are you interested in shaping the future of entertainment? Prime Video's technology teams are creating best-in-class digital video experience. As a Prime Video team member, you’ll have end-to-end ownership of the product, user experience, design, and technology required to deliver state-of-the-art experiences for our customers. You’ll get to work on projects that are fast-paced, challenging, and varied. You’ll also be able to experiment with new possibilities, take risks, and collaborate with remarkable people. We’ll look for you to bring your diverse perspectives, ideas, and skill-sets to make Prime Video even better for our customers. With global opportunities for talented technologists, you can decide where a career Prime Video Tech takes you! Key job responsibilities The science challenges include: - Heterogeneous customer responses. The same customer responds differently to ads depending on what they’re watching, how engaged they are, and their broader streaming context. We need to understand and predict this variation to make better advertising decisions in real time. - Signal sparsity in streaming. Unlike search or retail advertising, streaming offers no clicks, no conversions, and limited direct feedback. We must develop creative approaches to infer customer preferences, intent, and tolerance from indirect behavioral signals. - Personalization at scale. A one-size-fits-all ad experience leaves value on the table for both customers and the business. We build systems that adapt ad load, placement, and content to individual viewers across 100M+ customers and 100k+ titles. - Small effects, large variance. Ad interventions typically produce 0.1-2% shifts in engagement, effects easily overwhelmed by natural behavioral variance. Measuring, attributing, and optimizing these small signals requires rigorous experimental design and causal methodologies. - Competing objectives. Revenue, customer engagement, long-term retention, and advertiser value are in tension. We develop principled frameworks to navigate these tradeoffs and optimize for sustainable outcomes rather than any single metric. A day in the life - Lead the research and development of ML models that personalize advertising decisions for 100M+ customers across 100k+ titles, with production deployment in mind - Develop deep learning architectures (multi-task learning, embedding-based representations) for customer behavior prediction at scale - Design and analyze large-scale A/B experiments, applying causal inference techniques to measure and optimize the impact of ad strategies on customer engagement and monetization - Partner with engineering to ensure models meet production latency and scalability requirements - Collaborate with product managers to frame business problems as tractable ML problems and translate findings into product decisions - Shape the team’s scientific roadmap, identifying high-impact research directions About the team Prime Video Ads is pioneering the use of Generative AI, Deep Learning and Causal ML to empower the next generation of Ads experience in Prime Video. Our vision is to build the world’s most valuable and differentiated ad-supported streaming platform: one where every ad is relevant to the viewer, and every dollar spent by an advertiser delivers measurable results. We are seeking lead applied scientists who have demonstrated experience in advancing state of the art ML algorithms, particularly in Personalization, Relevance, Casual Inference and Gen-AI areas. Your role will be to deliver these innovations as production-ready systems at Amazon scale.

    Amazon Business System Integrations connects Amazon Business with millions of business users and thousands of partner procurement, ERP, and finance systems. We build the APIs, protocols, and agentic experiences that let customers buy on Amazon Business directly from the systems they already use. As an Applied Scientist on this team, you will own and advance the ML and GenAI capabilities that make these integrations smarter, faster, and more reliable. You will drive model accuracy, scientific innovation, and global scale across external systems integrations. Our work includes API-based and protocol-based shopping, such as punchout and emerging agent protocols, along with agentic interactions where buyers and AI agents search, compare, and purchase through natural language. It also covers partner onboarding and integration automation, mapping and normalizing catalog, product, and order data across many partner formats, and evaluation frameworks that measure the quality, accuracy, and latency of our agents. Key job responsibilities As an Applied Scientist on this team, you will work across three dimensions: Invent, Implement, and Influence. Invent: You bring deep domain knowledge and fluency with state-of-the-art scientific approaches and emerging research. You practice customer-obsessed science, working backwards from the needs of business buyers, procurement teams, and integration partners to extend or invent new ML approaches, even when no textbook solution exists. You design novel ML and LLM-based methods for agentic shopping, product search and matching, schema and data mapping across partner systems, and automated evaluation of agent quality. You help define the research agenda for our agentic and protocol-based capabilities, and you lead the scientific strategy for accurate, low-latency responses in conversational and API-driven procurement. You author or co-author articles for internal or external peer-reviewed venues when appropriate and not precluded by business considerations. Implement: The ML components you develop are integrated directly into production systems serving Amazon Business customers and partners worldwide. You make sound tradeoffs between accuracy and latency, innovation and stability, and short-term and long-term solutions, favoring reuse and established frameworks where appropriate. You make progress semi-autonomously with only occasional guidance, implement at the right level of complexity the first time, and evaluate emerging technologies, including LLMs and GenAI frameworks, largely on your own. You ensure your models and pipelines integrate robustly with catalog, offer, cart, order, and partner data sources and with the services that power external integrations. Influence: You contribute to planning for the team, including goals, priorities, and roadmaps for ML and GenAI capabilities. You lead the scientific strategy for expanding agentic and integration capabilities across new partners, protocols, and countries. You collaborate with engineering, product, and program teams across Amazon Business so that data integration and ML pipelines are robust and scale with adoption. You mentor scientists and engineers, champion best practices for the AI-Driven Development Life Cycle (AIDLC), and provide peer feedback on research methods and results. You help recruit bar-raising talent through interview drives, and you are visible in the broader scientific community as a subject matter expert, including serving as a Program Committee member or reviewer for peer-reviewed venues.
